At Times

Our saviour hasn’t found a cover
Been observing the unrest
Small array of hardened lovers
They are the only ones left
Out of bounds
They’re rushing out of bounds
Rushing out of bounds
At times
You don’t have to watch
No, you don’t have to watch
But you can only watch
At times
Always wanted to discover (a new level)
Planning on (but not just yet)
A dive in a pool of water (in August)
It won’t happen quite like that (don’t forget)
The other way around
It’s the other way around
Other way around
At times
You don’t have to cry
No, you don’t have to cry
You can only cry
At times
Pushing out of bounds
At times

Sincere

Passion is still here,
A feeling that will last now.
Bells ring in this loft,
Fear abandons the core of our house.
Never in a million years you thought this:
To remain fully sincere and like it
To show it around,...
Show it around.
Difference is unreal,
Even you were taken aback.
Apparently they will listen,
Taking notes straight to her heart.
Never in a million years you thought this:
To remain fully sincere and like it
To show it around,...
Show it around.
You decide it is now time to show it around.
Show it around,...
Show it around.
You decide it is now time to show it around.

Hallway Matters

Letting the end of an era created begin to fall.
Leaving the pills and the sticks and the stones to the nationals.
The fire is out; the spark is cold.
Brightness ebbs, a shine is old.
Dreams are back inside a box.
Caught in rust; how tight the lock.
And so I act, take center stage
To tread the boards of a dark cage.
As the puppet I pull the strings
Knowing that illusion wins.
Letting the end of an era created begin to fall.
Leaving the pills and the sticks and the stones to the nationals.
Letting the end of an era created begin to fall.
Leaving the pills and the sticks and the stones to the nationals.
The cover cracks its shallow skin.
Days are tough and patience thin.
Voices shivering; count to ten.
It is between me and them.
The unsaid words,.. They seem to slip.
Etch my mind and not my script.
Time melts away thin to bold;
Yearn to be lost in its folds.
Letting the end of an era created begin to fall.
Leaving the pills and the sticks and the stones to the nationals.
Letting the end of an era created begin to fall.
Leaving the pills and the sticks and the stones to the nationals.

In Your Head
05:17

Grass is always greener
That is what they say
Always seem to crave
What never comes our way
We always wanna get
What we can never touch
Your idiotic musing
Teases far too much
Don't own the future
Can't rewrite the past
We only have now
But that can never last
I sleep while awake
Missing what's been gone
Hope smothers me
Beguiled for far too long
In your head
Balanced on this tightrope
Regardless, you’ll fall
Stretched between worlds
Scared to make the call
Promise of a smile
Temptation offers more
When all you ought to do
Is wake and close the door
In your head
I'm hiding in the marshes
And you all think I’m square
Struggling to resurface
But you know where to find me
In your head
In your head
In your head
In your head
In your head
In your head
In your head
In your head

Girl, Thanks A Lot
02:18

Won’t fit, won’t stop, won’t quit, won’t drop,...
Girl, thanks a lot.
I used to date the coolest chicks in town
And drink a beer when no one was around.
Get up and ready to the count of three,…
I wondered why you weren’t lookin’ at me.
I found no punk here, where was I to look?
Walkin’ alone to Goodwill buyin’ books?
Went to the movies just to kill some time,
I knew for sure that one day you’ll be mine.
Won’t fit, won’t stop, won’t quit, won’t drop,...
Girl, thanks a lot.
One day you will be mine!
There was a brawl at the saloon last night
But we went cruisin’ and stayed out of sight.
Kicked ass on Pac-Man while the radio played,
Didn’t worry much if I got home at eight.
We’re gonna practice at my house tonite,
We do the hits but we don’t sound so tight.
The same old bass guitar will do the trick
Just as long as we all get a kick.
Won’t fit, won’t stop, won’t quit, won’t drop,...
Girl, thanks a lot.
One day you will be mine!

Influencer

Haven't done a lot today,
Didn't go to work: you only played.
Staying coupled with the screen
You'll become a man/machine.
So when you're grown up you can be
An influencer.
And you can post another stream:
It's influential.
Get out of this misery.
All those clicks and like you see
Don't mean anything to me.
It's quality, not quantity.
And if you keep it up you'll feel
An influencer.
So you'll be led up to believe
You're influential.
So when you're grown up you can be
An influencer.
And you can post another stream:
It's influential.
It's influential.
What are you showing today?
Many channels in dismay,...
I don't think that I can stay
As watching this makes me complaint.
And you can post another stream:
It's influential.

Follow The Ride

Colors of a friendship turns to neon
Now she might need a shoulder to lean on
Not a single hint predicted us near
Have to thank my pal to let us stay here
Lookin’ in each other’s eyes
Ask yourself why our time flies
Floating on his water bed
Can’t believe the words you said
Laying there just holding hands
Why do we have to pretend?
Wallowing in useless pride
Lookin’ out for other signs
Follow the ride
Follow the ride
Follow the ride
Have to thank my friend to let us stay here
Not a single hint predicted us near
Now she might need a shoulder to lean on
Colors of a friendship turns to neon
Won’t remember what you said
Hanging in a lover’s nest
Looking at the others
Pictures and a lullaby
Laying there just holding hands
Why do we have to pretend?
Wallowing in useless pride
Lookin’ out for other signs
Follow the ride
Follow the ride
Follow the ride
You gotta follow the ride
Follow the ride
You gotta follow the ride
Follow
Follow the ride
Follow the ride

When the animals weren't dying
You had all the tears to cry.
When the animals weren't dying
You had all the tears to cry.
When the animals weren't dying
You had all the tears to cry.
When the animals weren't dying
You had all the tears to cry.
Bandages, bandages, bandages, bandages,...
Why you done this?
Why you done this?
Why you done this?
Why you done this?
Why?
Why?
Why?
Why?

Sparkles In The Cave
05:37

You and me again exploring depths of hell.
Underground the waters appearing down the well.
Deep up to my chin,
...Look at the mess we’re in.
Rivers flowing fast
searching through our past.
Hold our breath, prepare to drown
As the current pulls us down.
Flailing now, we’re out of time,…
Waiting for the absent line.
You and me again swim inside that hole.
Pass me on the bank,
suffocate some more.
Head is circling now,…
Watch me trying to cope.
Water passing through;
here’s to a new you.
Droplets fill my eyes, I wink
While the depths embrace my skin.
I just crave your steady touch
Even though I ask too much.
You and me again running out of there.
No location found: it could be anywhere.
Steady insolence to never replicate.
Nothing left to save but sparkles in the cave.
